Peanut Butter And Choc Chip Cookies

My friend Sam told me that her son Handsome loves it when she bakes my peanut butter and chocolate rusks. This was such a compliment for me, as kids are honest to a fault about what they like and dislike. After reviewing The Family Cook Book I decided to adapt her recipe for the oat cookies and make a batch of Peanut Butter And Choc Chip Cookies. I sent a message to Sam asking her if the kids would eat these peanut butter and choc chip cookies and I got a voice message back with handsome saying an emphatic no and Pretty Girl (her daughter) saying yes. With only a 50% positive response to my idea, I left a voice message for my nieces who live in Sydney. Sasha replied telling me that my cookie idea is very good, and gave me ‘permission’ to try it. Nadia who is 3 does not like peanut butter. But she wants sprinkles and stuff and icing! So, these cookies only got a thumbs up from 2 of the 4 children asked, but they got a huge thumbs up from Dave who does not like peanut butter! I suppose next on my list will be cookies made with stuff for the cutest little one who really knows what she wants.

I am passionate about using regional, seasonable and sustainable produce when I cook. I live in Gordons Bay with my husband and dogs. Dave and I are busy building a house which is an adventure all in itself. Each year we visit a new place overseas to experience the food of the area. Follow along on our adventures!

Kids here would have a sparkle in their eyes if they would get these cookies. I would have sparkles in my eyes too. 😀
For a moment I even thought I had a plateful of them waiting for me, but alas it’s just another food dream. Thanks for sharing Tandy! 😀

My daughter and her friends will eat just about anything I put in front of them – they are not good with giving constructive criticism though. I do love the sound of these PB/chocolate cookies and those PB/Chocolate rusks??? I love rusks – but never made my own – let alone know that they could exist in such a wonderful combo of flavors!

You know Tandy, I saw your post come up on my feed yesterday and I held my breath as I know we have a history of “great minds think alike”. As Dave doesn’t like peanut butter I don’t think he will like my recipe as it is intensely peanut buttery. Lovely post 🙂 xx

I totally agree with you. I guess that’s why if you look on a kids menu, it’s always chicken fingers and fries. Because they won’t eat anything else!!
These cookies look amazing. You would get a thumbs up from me!

Kids are certainly honest to a fault! When they don’t like dinner, I’m the first to know it. They love peanut butter though, and I love the chocolate chip and peanut butter combination. So tasty! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us =)
